Ministry of Advanced Education • Provides leadership and resources to foster a high-quality advanced education and training system that responds to the needs of Saskatchewan’s people and economy. • Supports growth by ensuring an educated and skilled workforce to meet existing and future labour market demand.
Saskatchewan Plan for Growth Experiential Learning: • Students will receive the information education, and experience needed to … identify future career paths by expanding post-secondary co-op and career development opportunities.
Changing Expectations Work ready plus: • Sustainability literate in the profession/discipline • Change implementation savvy • Creative, inventive, entrepreneurial • Ability to work effectively in teams
Evolving Sector Needs • Demand-side perspective • New models of care – working in teams to full scope of practice • Transformation of health care – “better teams”
IPE in Health Science Programs • We must prepare our students in health science programs for a changing workplace. • We need to find ways to better prepare health care workers in their educational programs to work in teams, learn together and break down the silos.
IPE in Health Science Programs • Programs need to be innovative and creative in working together to ensure Saskatchewan students have the required experiences to move our health system forward. • Look outside individual institutions for opportunities to collaborate in education.
IPE in Health Science Programs • It is important for government to listen to what health educators and stakeholders feel they need for inter-professional education to be successful. • Inter-professional education is helpful to students and the health disciplines they will be entering. • For example, inter-professional education staging assists students with transfers and helps them to ladder into different health programs.
IPE in Health Science Programs • Embedding IPE into programs may require changing how PSIs design curriculum, how they evaluate faculty and students, and how they work with the health system.
The Inter-professional Health Collaborative of Saskatchewan (IHCS) • The IHCS is a network with an expressed interest in inter-professional health education, practice and policy. The IHCS is working toward several key goals: • Establishing an Inter-professional Education and collaborative practice framework or model for the province; • Developing key priorities that will lead to a comprehensive longer term IP plan relevant to both the academic programs and practice settings; • Maintaining existing and strengthen new IP linkages: provincially, regionally and nationally; and • Exploring funding opportunities to advance IP collaboration and education in the province.
